Adventures in Color

This one was a quick one for the side of the case just inside the door of the store.  I like how the border came out.  Though I think I should have given the ribbons some shading.

Adding color to these black signs after doing so many in White on Black was a little intimidating. 

I took some inspiration from the trader joes artist hub for these next few.  I have a few more colors to work with now.  These two really grab your attention from across the room.

Color...

I did a few quick marker posters that are temporary...

Coloring Book Pages

Here are a few coloring book pages I made for Organon.  Simple and cute. The Logo one I have gone in and deleted the background... The others still need to be done.

More Signage

This top one is partially paint and the rest is chalkboard to be able to change which farms we have in...

Restroom! Everybody needs to know where it is right?  

I liked my little people.  Permanent paint pen on foamcore. Up close the textural lines look cooler.

Kids' vs Kids vs Kid's...Snacks.  

I couldn't decide grammatically if there ought to be an apostrophe, so I left it out.  My teacher friend tells me it should probably be after the s.  Ah well. Also a foamcore sign.  You can't tell from the picture but the lettering has stripes also.

This one was a quick actual-chalk-on-easel sign for the day.  I like the way the leaves came out.

More Signs

And here is another of my Faux Chalkboard Signs at work.  I really like this font.   It speaks LOUDLY and has an old-time-y charm.

And this one is a quick little promo ;)

Chalkboard Signs

 I have been making Chalkboard looking signs at Organon Market, where I work...  Here are some of them...

Strawberry Season!

Yay! Strawberry season has arrived. I bought a whole flat from the farmer's market last Saturday and have been enjoying the tastes of summer. Cereal with strawberries cut into it tastes so decadent. I only buy strawberries fresh when they are from farmers in-state. So when the season hits it's exciting!

I sorted them once I got home and boiled the mushy ones into a strawberry sauce which was amazing on my french toast.

I'm using the juice of the sauce to add some flavor to my selzer making it a yummy strawberry spritzer. And once I couldn't eat anymore fresh strawberries I have been washing them, drying them off, cutting the tops, slicing them in half and freezing them on a tray to be transfered into jars a bit later.

Frozen Local Strawberries are Awesome!

Next step... Learn how to do canning. I would love to make jam. I even bought a book on it. But it all requires so much sugar...
